It offers the thrill of adventure to those who want to fulfil the ultimate goal by crossing & climbing the highest passes of the region known as the Kongma La (5,535 m), Cho La (5,420 m) and Renjo La (5,340 m) all lies in the Khumbu zone.

From these high passes, one can have stunning views of the mountains like Lhotse, Nuptse, Baruntse, AmaDablam and Makalu. After Gokyo Valley, we walk down to Thame through grazing pastures.
